The Blue Ox Review

The Blue Ox Review features reviews of children’s and young adult books. It also includes links to news and events of interest to children’s book people, heads up for sleeper titles that may have been missed in crowded publication years, children’s literature related curriculum, and cool stuff from Archives and Special Collections at the University of Minnesota.

Did you know that Minnesota is the mythic home of Paul Bunyan? The delightful spot art of Babe the Blue Ox is by award-winning illustrator, Megan Montague Cash.
